Zhong Kui's Diary
"First, I need to lead you to Wild Boar Mountain, because the Guk Tribe there has many experts in Black Magic. Even if I use a Spell, it won't raise your suspicions," Ten Directions Monk said with a smile.
I remained silent; in fact, he was right. With Linzi and others using so-called Black Magic, plus the fact that Ten Directions Monk himself is a Spirit, my thinking had become somewhat lazy, and I didn't connect it to the Spell at all.
"Secondly, I took advantage of Fang Zhan's desire to be with Wei Ziyi and took him as my disciple, helping him devise this plan," Ten Directions Monk continued with a smile.
"But what good does this plan do besides getting the Fang Family people killed?"
"It doesn't have much effect; the main purpose is to make you sympathize with Linzi's plight. People only let their guard down when they feel sympathy for others, and you'll trust Linzi without reservation. This way, at the crucial moment when Linzi asks you to channel your Devouring Energy into me, you'll undoubtedly comply," Ten Directions Monk laughed maniacally. "In reality, the true Yurou Lin is just a lonely girl wandering on Daihei Mountain. She is still deceived by the illusions of my Thirty-Three Caves, thinking she is Yu Qi who has gone through Reincarnation."
Damn, Ten Directions Monk is utterly insane. To obtain my Devouring Energy, he dragged the Fang Family from Black Wind Village and Wei Ziyi from Flower Guk Tribe into this mess, even inciting them to kill each other. All of this was merely to make me believe in Linzi. What does it mean to regard human life as grass? This is what it means.
Aside from feeling frustrated, I was helpless against him. Half of my Devouring Energy had already been transmitted. Looking at Ten Directions Monk's smug face, a wave of strong helplessness surged in my heart. Am I just supposed to watch him succeed in his scheme?
After pondering for a moment, I asked, "Actually, this Devouring Energy of mine isn't really magical power; it wouldn't be of much use to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ten Directions Monk spat at me disdainfully: "What do you know! I don't even know how to deal with you. You're like a three-year-old child who possesses millions but only knows how to take out a coin occasionally to ride Pleasant Goat's shaking car without knowing how to utilize that wealth. Devouring Energy is an energy that transcends Yin-Yang Realms and is the highest existence among Spirits; how could it possibly be useless?"
"Who says I can't use it? I've studied tutorials!" I retorted immediately. Song Xi had once given me three tutorial pills for controlling magical power: Fire Element, Thunder Element, and Devouring System. How could I not know how to use them?
"Fool! The Song Family was deceiving you; they have never come into contact with Devouring Energy. How could they understand the Spell for controlling Devouring Energy?" Ten Directions Monk mocked.
Damn, that seems to be the case. No wonder my Devouring Energy has always been ineffective; it turns out that's why. A doubt arose in my heart: "How do you know so much about me?"
"With your little matters, how hard could it be to find out? Just go anywhere in Star City for a Health Treatment; those girls can tell you a lot about yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"Fatty adapted your story to achieve his goal of getting free action, telling it to those girls during Health Treatment. If any girl showed interest, he would say, 'To know what happens next, please listen to the aftermath...' As a result, all the girls in Star City knew about your situation." Ten Directions mocked, "They even improved the techniques of Health Treatment, using names like Wildfire and Absolute Zero in their ice and fire techniques... Damn, I digress. In short, you have no idea how to use Devouring Energy."
I swear, my friendship with Fatty has reached its end.
Ten Directions Monk chuckled a couple of times and continued, "Let me tell you something else. Right now is the most critical time for me to absorb Devouring Energy, and also when I am at my weakest. If you were to pull out a gun and shoot me now, I wouldn't be able to resist at all. Hahaha, go ahead and try to hit me."
This bastard was deliberately trying to provoke me because he knew I couldn't pull out a gun. Just as I was about to curse him out, I suddenly saw Linzi standing motionless nearby shake her neck and mumble, "I'm so tired of standing!"
Seeing this, Ten Directions showed a hint of surprise and urgency on his face and quickly said to Linzi, "Yurou Lin, be good and don't move. Just play over there for a bit..."
"Okay, I'll play for a while!" A strange smile appeared on Linzi's face as she walked up to Ten Directions Monk, reached out her left hand to grab his head, turned it aside, and then swung her right hand hard, slapping him so forcefully that blood spurted from his mouth and nose. Then Linzi smiled and said, "Hitting someone should be on the face; it's really quite fun."
With that slap from Linzi, not only did Ten Directions Monk's expression change drastically, but I was also left dumbfounded.
Wasn't she under the control of Ten Directions? Wasn't she unable to wake up? How did she suddenly start hitting him? Could it be that she was in such a deep sleep that she started sleepwalking?
Ignoring the blood from his mouth and nose, Ten Directions's voice was hoarse with urgency: "Be good and go play over there..."
Smack!
Linzi retaliated with another slap, this one even harder, swelling half of Ten Directions Monk's face and causing blood to spray out over a foot away.
Ten Directions Monk was instantly furious; his lips moved rapidly as if he wanted to chant a spell but was unable to complete it because Linzi had grabbed his head. With one slap after another, he couldn't finish his incantation. Meanwhile, Linzi smiled and said, "Aren't you currently absorbing Zhong Zhengnan's Devouring Energy? Is it at the most critical moment? I'm really sorry; I happen to know a bit about energy absorption too. If you forcibly terminate it now, all the energy you've absorbed will return to Zheng Nan, and even your own magical power will flow back into him."
While slapping him, Linzi continued, "All your magical power comes from pills. Once you lose your internal power, you'll just be an empty shell. How can you fight me then?"
I vaguely understood; this Linzi must have been holding back until now for such a good opportunity before suddenly launching her attack. I coughed lightly and said, "Linzi, stop talking nonsense; just kill him already."
Linzi smiled lightly at me and said, "Alright."
After that, Linzi took two steps back, her lips moving slightly. The two giants immediately stepped forward, and Basin's large fists swung with great force, aiming directly at Ten Directions's head. Based on how Linzi had just struck him, it seemed that the giant could probably turn Ten Directions Monk into a meat paste with just two punches.
Ten Directions Monk was horrified and suddenly let out a strange cry. He pushed both palms toward me, and I felt an overwhelming surge of energy rushing into my palm. Just as Linzi had said, this energy was my Devouring Energy, mixed with some other magical power. The force of this energy was so intense that I felt a sweetness in my throat and spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.
When I slowly regained consciousness, I found myself lying in bed, with Linzi smiling gently at me. I turned to look around; yes, this was Black Wind Village, in Linzi's room. I could vaguely hear the sounds of Fatty and Sugar Doll arguing outside. Feeling puzzled, I bit my finger.
Damn, that hurt.
Linzi laughed and said, "No need to bite; you're not dreaming. We’ve already come out of the formation."
I sat up quickly and asked anxiously, "What exactly happened?"
Linzi cleared her throat and said, "What that Ten Directions Monk said earlier in the Thirty-Three Caves was all true; I won't repeat it."
"All true?" I was stunned for a moment before asking, "What happened afterward? Did you manage to kill that Ten Directions Monk?"
"No," Linzi shook her head with a bitter smile. "After he sent all the energy he absorbed back into your body, he immediately dispelled the Thirty-Three Caves Formation. Since the formation was broken, we were ejected from it and naturally couldn't take his life."
"Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know either."
I sighed, realizing that this mystery couldn't be solved for now. I then asked, "Weren't you controlled by him? How did you suddenly wake up?"
"I was always very aware," Linzi smiled and said. "I intentionally allowed myself to be captured by him in the Thirty-Three Caves."
"What does it mean?"
"Because I want to understand the mysteries of Reincarnation from the Spell of Thirty-Three Caves." Linzi's eyes suddenly became very strange when she mentioned Reincarnation.
"Don't joke with me. The Ten Directions Monk has already proven that all this talk about Reincarnation and crossing over is fake." I laughed heartily.
Linzi looked at me with a half-smile: "Zheng Nan, I'm not joking. Reincarnation does exist because I am currently experiencing Reincarnation."
I frowned in displeasure: "Linzi, I consider you a friend. If you keep making jokes like this, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
Linzi smiled and changed the subject: "I once told you that hundreds of years ago, a great hero emerged from the Guk Tribe, who unified the Black Flower Red White Four Major Factions, right?"
I nodded: "That's right. You also mentioned that she promoted Han Culture, which led to your people adopting Han surnames."
Linzi sighed and waved her hand in the air. Suddenly, an image appeared in front of us—a mountain range that looked extremely steep. As Linzi moved her hand through the air, the image zoomed in and shifted, as if we were looking at a satellite map.
Next, I saw a narrow waterfall, then a stone bridge, a deep abyss, and finally that Copper Door. Wait, this is actually the map of Black Wind Village.
